Go to a buffet. Nothing better, nothing worse just very average, expensive Chinese food. The Chinese kid who stood behind me and blew his nose three times (it was very productive) didn't help my appetite any. Then he went over and watched a very loud, scary movie (his words). Not a good dining experience, and we won't be back. Please bring back the China Hut.
